We have developed a comprehensive method to gather data on equipment and systems within your facility through on-site walk-through reviews, informal staff interviews and review of equipment specifications, to produce customized SOP and SWI specific to your facility. These manuals are completed with step-by-step instructions, pictures, videos and training sign-off schedules.

Over the past 22 years, TFM Consultants International have trained hundreds of facility technicians from 5th class Boiler and Refrigeration operators through 1st Class Power Engineers. Our accredited programs are recognized industry-wide for being the best in the Country.

Programs are held at our fully equipped training facility in Langley, British Columbia. Or, we can bring this training and other custom training tailored to your facility.
